NewMexiKen managed to break away from surfing the web long enough this evening to take in a ballgame — Isotopes vs. the Iowa Cubs. 15,002 other folks joined us, the second largest crowd ever here.
It was a beautiful night for the game — 103º at the first pitch, but cooling down to a sweater-inducing 98º by the third inning. The Cubs went up 4-0 by the top of the second, but the ‘Topes fought back to win 7-6. Each team had a hellacious home run well over the 428 foot sign in left center.
And it was all followed by a great Independence Day eve fireworks show.
Sounds like a perfect evening to me. Except for the outcome of the game. Being originally from Iowa plus a hope-to-live-long-enough Cubs fan I would have preferred a different final score. Glad you enjoyed it, tho.
